  1. I think we win in six. I think you have to play Rempe even if he is shelved during the third period in tight contests.

     

    They definitely need to tighten up the defense in front of Igor though.

     

    My biggest concern was if they had the postseason leader ship in the locker room. I’m not concerned anymore because I believe Trocheck has assumed that mantle. He is a man on a mission. For as good as Chris and Zibs are I never felt that way about them. Bread man is playing possessed as well

     

    This should be edge of your seat lump in your throat hockey buckle up your chin straps

  2. The Rangers have won their last 12 games with Rempe in the lineup. The Rangers are 17-2-1 overall with Rempe in the lineup since he made his debut in the outdoor game Feb. 18. There is value there and it is palpable and the Rangers are riding his wave. 
     

    There is a lot of teaching being done behind the scenes you read it in every article. This guy is in the heads of everyone in the league from Bettman on down. You can see it every time he’s on the ice he’s practically got an escort from the referee.
    The spillover effect on this team is the physicality you’re seeing from guys like Schneider will even Miller and Laf It’s a good problem to have I take it every day

  3. glad to see his commitment and dedication is paying off.  new york is a tough place to do this but he is getting it done.  says a lot about his character and someone we should want to invest in long term.  kid probably takes the C at some point down the line if this path continues.  Next thing you will see out of him is the snarl, which he was touted to have playing in the lower leagues.

     

    Training takes time.  i've totally changed my lifestyle from jan of 23.  cut off alcohol, all kinds of sugar, high protein intake and 2 hours a day in the gym 5-6 days a week.  lost 60 lbs over the year and the difference is amazing.  not blowing my horn here but the point is it takes a lot of time and patience.  not to mention he was still growing.

     

    overall just a great thing to see.  kid stepped upto the challenge.  well playeed

  4. Obviously you have to like what you are seeing since Trouba went down.  Schneider has been very noticeable out there as has K'andres game as well.  Coincidence?  Maybe, maybe not.  Miller has been on record saying his game has not been where he's wanted it to be.

     

    Schneider's game has definitely taken a more physical edge of late.  Is it a Remke effect at work or that he feel's the need to kick it up a notch with the Cap down.  most likely its a combination of the two.

     

    No matter where he plays upon his return, we need the Captain for a deep run, despite where he plays in the lineup.  This time off could be just the ticket as we will have him back fresh in the next weeks.  Reminds me of the old Islanders dynasty where Potvin or some other top guy would get an undisclosed injury a few weeks before the playoffs started.

     

     As to Schneider I will always remember JD's intensity in the war room on draft day when we moved up to take him.  It was so cool they caught that on camera.

  5. I think we did the best that we could given this year‘s circumstances. I really believe the answer to a deep run this year lies within the rooms already existing pieces. The leaders of this group have to step it up and take it to the next level. To quote Mike Rupp they have to be comfortable playing uncomfortable

  6. i'd go with vatrano and take our chances.  there's no sure fire stud out there this year unless drury really goes outside of the box.

     

    this is the rangers remember going on 30 years, which is a lifetime by the way.

     

    i've said it a thousand times.  it's very comfortable to play here,  they are coddled.  i'm not sure they really have the guts to win 4 rounds, unless they bring in someone with respect that would kick a little ass in the room.  don't think that guy exists in the room at present.

  7. interesting to read this morning that they moved othman to the right side last week in hartford.  

     

    good time to experiment from within prior to chasing vatrano of tarasanko, which they probably will do anyway.

     

    tough break for wheeler.  im not as down on him as some of u.  i know he's lost a step but still by all accounts had been a good role model and locker room guy.
